If you are unable to come to the Yabloko office, write a letter to the political prisoner yourself, using our instructions. Yabloko has developed an instruction for writing and sending letters, so that people can get in touch with political prisoners even if they do not have the opportunity to come to one of the Yabloko offices for the action.

Historian Yury Dmitriyev, who was involved in discovering the graves of victims of Stalin’s repressions and was imprisoned, sends his greetings from the Mordovian colony IK-18 to all who have not forgotten him and writes letters to him:

Dear Yabloko friends,

I received a small pile of materials from you (digest for August, and so on) as well as letters and postcards. Thank you very much. It is so nice to know that not all caring people have been imprisoned yet… Just kidding!

…

United we stand.

With wishes for victory,

Yury Dmitriyev
